Notes

gollark: Unfortunately, based on my research brains can't efficiently mine bitcoin.
gollark: I, personally, am happy with a mostly functional society with stuff like "computers" and "generally not dying (prematurely)" and "medicine".
gollark: Hmm, yes, interesting idea.
gollark: It's not really "useful" or "sane" or "in any way beneficial", but quite cool.
gollark: Anyway, the IRC bridge picks up messages from the IRC "network" I run with two other people for arbitrary reasons, and posts them to a channel. "Epicbot" posts the messages from that bridge channel into the channel which can do outgoing "phone" calls, and those are then relayed to another test server.
